Stags Drop Tough One to Redlands at Home

Apr 08, 2005

The CMS Stags Tennis Team lost a tough battle to Redlands on
Friday, in a match where the final score was not indicative of how
close these two teams are. The Stags won the doubles point in
dramatic fashion by posting wins at the #1 and #3 positions.
William Ellison and Evan
Feldhausen returned to their #1 form with an 8-5 win.
Eric Chow and Jason Evans won for
the 16th time this year at number three doubles. Unfortunately, the
Stags were unable to capitalize on the momentum from the doubles,
as they lost the opening set at five of six positions. By the end
of the afternoon, the Stags lost three-set battles at #1, #2, and
#5, and were on the losing end of three tie-breaks, two of which
were decisive. The Stags play a double-header tomorrow, taking on
Caltech on the road in the morning, and Chapman at CMS in the
afternoon. The Stags are 4-2 and in third place in the SCIAC, and
are 11-12 overall. Thanks to all of our terrific fans - students,
parents, and friends - for your enthusiastic support at today's
match.
